Classic Albums
From yesterday’s newspaper
Listening to music for 30 minutes a day has been found to lower levels of anxiety (G2, 23 March). I have started listening to a classic album a day, yesterday’s being Joni Mitchell’s Court and Spark. Suggestions for future listening gratefully received.[/dropshadow]

So what would you suggest to tap into Spotify in the next few days?
I guess as it’s classic albums I suggest nothing from this century.
I could go with the above suggestion but would add. Moondance - Van Morrison.
What say you?

Re: Classic Albums
Hi Ranchie.....My wife had quite a few classic albums but gave them to a good friend who used to manage a well known band back in the seventies..can't for the life of me remember the name of them. As you enter his house he has floor to ceiling shelves of records...must be worth a mint.
Talking to my wife this morning she said we had a couple of Beatles albums', Rumours, and one that i have never heard of which was called "Journey to the centre of the earht" by ?

Build me up buttercup or anything Barry White... I like most music apart from grunge and rap. I like to hear the words properly

Re: Classic Albums
No disrespect to the other contributors but it’s great to see this one because I’m straight off to Spotify as I haven’t heard this album before. That’s 50 mins of today taken up.
The others are great too. I agree as I’ve heard them.
Keep well & keep more classic albums rolling in.
Steve.

Re: Classic Albums
JC released it way back but was advised not to because the lyrics were very controversial … they were also true and relate stories of how the American Indians were treated by the white man, this time the Indians are telling the story. Some of the tracks will bring a tear to your eyes or at least I hope they do.Ranchi wrote: 25 Mar 2020, 13:39No disrespect to the other contributors but it’s great to see this one because I’m straight off to Spotify as I haven’t heard this album before.

Re: Classic Albums
I like lots of stuff, ABBA , and ballads, but at present we have Classic FM on a lot. The endless repetitive news is driving us crazy on TV. Where's Rays a laugh, Educating Archie. and the Glums when you need them?
